Monaghan v Tyrone - Sunday 15th June - St Tiernach's Park Clones

[ONeill]

Clearly not.

So, what have you actually won? 

I'm not talking about Monaghan. I'm making reference to the fact that the poster who claimed: "Monaghan don't beat Tyrone" now reckons that "Us Tyronnies are well aware of our limitations...."

Jesus. You boys are actually serious.

Over your head is right then, really.

Shouldn't be so sensitive, that's what it's all about, and at the end of last Sunday, Monaghan were still in the Ulster and we weren't -- well done, and big deal.

You have another game coming up, which I would have expected your (collective) energies to have been more focused on. But no, you'd rather dwell on this 'momentous' victory. Get over it.

I don't doubt you were having a laugh Oneill but I'm pretty sure the rest of the comments quoted were serious!!! A couple of those lads have previous in terms of being deluded about their team ...

So only ONeill was in jest, and all the rest weren't, even though only "a couple" of them have previous -- all we need, an innumerate Derryman in the mix!

Funny the Tyrone lads going on about us being ungracious and having no class. I don't agree, but you're going to get a bit of slagging when you write us off easily in the build-up. I'm sure a few of those were on the wind up and that's all good craic, but equally I've no doubt others were serious and dismissed our chances.

So unfortunately you're going to get this reaction afterwards. Suck it up lads, we've had to take enough defeats to ye hoors in the last decade!  You'll regroup in the back door and there's every chance we'll meet again down the line. I've been more focused on the Armagh game for a few days now, but it's hard to forget about this, especially when this thread has been near the top of the page every time I look in here.

So, Darren Hughes has had his black card overturned. McCurry's overturned as well.

Maybe it's time they just overturned the decision to introduced the black card?

"they" can't. Would have to be done at Congress

Who would want to go back to the days when every Tom, Dick and Sean thought it was ok to drag down players any time they broke into anything approaching space? The cost-benefit of that decision has hugely changed now and players are far less willing to risk seeing the line unless they feel it is absolutely necessary.

You can argue the unevenness of the application but as a tool for scaring defenders into behaving better it has been a huge success.

I agree, I think the evenness will come with time and perhaps tuning.. The principle is correct, the application arguably not.
